Access 2007

Hello,

I am trying to use Access' pivotchart tool to quickly create charts that i can then export to powerpoint easily (i do not use excel because i have lots of data!). Is there an easy way of exporting the pivot table/chart to powerpoint?

Many thanks in advance!

Owen

RE: Access 2007

Hi Owen,

Thank you for your question.

As far as I am concerned, Access Pivot Tables and Charts cannot be copied into a PowerPoint slide. However, you could create your pivot table or chart and press print screen (PrtSc) on your keyboard. Go to the PowerPoint slide and paste the item in. Use the Crop tool if you need to remove any parts of the picture you don't need.

Alternatively, you could copy the Pivot Chart or Table into Excel using the export to excel option within access. This imports the table and the data.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

Access tip:

Choosing data types in Access

Not sure which data type to use for your Access fields? Here are some guidelines to help you choose a data type to assign to a field.

- The Text data type can accept up to 255 characters. For information that will be recorded in paragraphs, use Memo.

- Also use Text for numbers that aren't going to be used in calculations, e.g. phone numbers.

- Use the Currency data type for monetary amounts.

- Use Date/Time for dates.

- Most other numbers can use the Number data type, but the Field Size property may have to be altered.

- For fields that have only two alternatives (yes, no) use Yes/No data type. If there is likely to be a third entry option (e.g. maybe or don't know) use Text instead.
